My Beginnings in EMS, and My Writing Productivity Secret
This video series is a classic Ask Me Anything, with 1-2 questions answered each week. It’s for ThisIsTrue.com readers who are curious about whatever. Questions are accepted (only) from Premium subscribers. My wife and I live on a Residential Cruising ship, and I record from my office there.
Questions in this Episode:
- 0:21 Steve in New Mexico: Have you done anything stupid enough to deserve being written up in a TRUE story?
- 3:30 Have you needed an ambulance yourself? (How I got into EMS)
- 7:33 Dennis in Arkansas: How and when did you get into the Dvorak keyboard? (Diagram below.)
The story of when Kit called 911 for me: Rescue Me.
Since Youtube Comments are typically a vast, brain-free wasteland of obliviocy, I’m putting the videos on my site where there can be intelligent discussion. The comments are NOT a place to ask questions.

When I got my Apple //c back in the 80s one of the first things I noticed was a switch to select QWERTY or Dvorak.

Indeed it was the first mainstream computer to have Dvorak built-in to the hardware. -rc
Not Sierra Madre (although we occasionally helped each other out), but Riverside Mountain Rescue Unit (RMRU) from 1975-1979 while in grad school at UC Riverside. Most of our territory was the San Jacinto Mountains above Palm Springs.
